2-Day Bread Workshop

IN-PERSON BAKING CLASS

July 8th and 9th — 9 am to 12 noon 
Location: Belleville Bakery, 217 College Street, Burlington, VT

Learn to make a lean white bread (like our garlic parmesan pull-apart loaf) AND an enriched dough (like brioche and cinnamon babka). 

This immersive class takes place in the bakery kitchen, with me (Shelley) as your instructor, accompanied by my apprentice bakers. 

Class limited to 9 students.

No matter how often you make bread, there always seems to be something new to learn ~ Julia Child

You're going to learn to make three different kinds of bread: a lean white bread that we'll turn into Garlic Parmesan Bread, and then an enriched dough which will become brioche loaves, brioche buns, or cinnamon babka. 

In this class (spread over two mornings) you will learn to measure, knead, and how to adjust recipes that seem dry (or wet). You'll prove, shape, and bake. Some bread we'll leave overnight to prove, and then we'll finish baking the next morning.

I will be demonstrating parts of the recipes, and you will be completing some of the steps. You will learn to knead by machine and by hand, how to scale recipes to suit the volume required, and what can be prepared in advance (for fridge and freezer). I'll also share with you my insider trick on how to make a proofing box at home with a ‘lizard’ pad. 

You’ll leave the workshop with complete recipes that use regular grocery store ingredients, and a list of tools with Amazon links in case you want to buy some of the same bits to have at home (like the same KitchenAid stand mixer that I have haha). 

You'll also go home with bread!

You will be in the bakery kitchen, both watching me demonstrate AND preparing things hands-on, small group (limited to 9 students), all around our central worktable. We’ll mix and bake and won't it all smell good!

We'll pause for a coffee break both days, and share tea, coffee, fresh juice, and bakery cookies. 

See you soon.
all best,
Shelley
